[Bug 1448515] Re: Randomly unable to rename files and directories

 

** Description changed:

  This has happened to me now for the second time, that I have been using
- nautilus to rename files etc quite happily until suddenly when I try to
- rename a file the cursor starts flashing in and out of visibility (may
- or may not be related), and then I find that I am unable to rename it,
- even if I restart nautilus. So no matter what I type or try to delete
- with, not key seems to make any impact to the file's name. I can't even
- use the arrow keys to move back and forth through the file name.
+ Nautilus quite happily to rename stuff, search for stuff, etc, and then
+ suddenly I am not able to input any information into it from my
+ keyboard, I am unable to rename files, or search for things because that
+ requires me to be able to give it keyboard input. I can unable to run
+ any keyboard shortcuts or anything. And restarting Nautilus does not fix
+ the problem, so I find that I have to restart my entire my machine, and
+ then things go back to normal. But this will just happen out of the
+ blue, nothing special before hand, but will just suddenly occur.
